This was a wonderful experience, a small class in an intimate setting. Everything was hands on so I learned a lot. I will be making these dishes in my home often.

We had a fantastic time with Chef Michael! He was friendly and super knowledgeable. We learned a ton and can't wait to use the techniques he taught us at home. We're already looking into when we can come back for another class!

I received cozy meal as a surprise Valentine's Day present and I loved it. The evening was fun, interactive, hands on and yummy. Chef Michael not only guided us through each step but also gave us so many cool facts on the cooking process I learned several new things that evening. Overall we had a wonderful time and I'd highly suggest this to anyone looking for a fun cooking experience. P.s this makes a great date night surprise

Chef Michael was very personable and answered our questions expertly and could laugh at his mistakes. His focus is on ratios and concepts versus specific recipes which fit us well. This was his first execution of the salads class. I liked potato salad for the first time ever!

This was a great class. Chef Michael is exceptionally knowledgeable and shares it with his students. I got to learn all aspects of the class. I feel that I can go home and make everything I learned easily I would definitely encourage people looking for a good cooking class with an exceptionally friendly and helpful teacher, to take a class from Chef Michael.

Chef Michael was fantastic. I learned some things and he was great with my 9 year old nephew. We got to be as involved as we wanted and had fun along the way. There was so much food and it was all so yummy. I will definately take another class with Chef Michael!
